Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172 Did She Do Something Bad? The hospital was not very far from the set, and when Hailey arrived, Dorian was walking out of the ward on crutches. His agent Nicole Campbell and his assistants were trying to stop him, but they failed. Jeremy stood behind Dorian with a black school bag on his back. He knew he couldn’t stop him, so he just held him carefully to prevent him from falling. The moment Hailey appeared, it quieted down and everyone greeted her happily. “Ms. Newman!” Hailey walked over, followed by several men in black who looked like they were coming to fight. “Hailey,” Jeremy called out to her, afraid she would beat Dorian. Hailey really wanted to beat Dorian for getting out of bed, but Jeremy calmed her down. She looked Dorian up and down. “You can walk? Looks like you’re recovering well.” Dorian could tell that she was taunting him. He pursed his lips. “Ms. Newman, I don’t want to quit the crew or give up the role of Richard.” He sounded polite, but he was actually blaming Hailey for recasting him without his permission. He wouldn’t have known he’d been replaced by Henric if Jamie hadn’t called him early in the morning to tell him he was coming to Diverous and playing Timothy. Jeremy pulled his sleeve to stop him from speaking to Hailey in such a tone. No matter what, Hailey had cured his leg. Jeremy believed Hailey had her own reasons. Hailey just said flatly, “You want to go back to the set now? Fine, backflip here and I’ll let you go.” It went quiet again. Dorian couldn’t even stay steady. How could he possibly backflip? But he handed his crutches directly to Jeremy. “Take them.” He was really going to backflip. Jeremy stopped him anxiously. “Stop!” Hailey shook her head helplessly and turned to ask Jeremy, “Why is your brother so stubborn?” Jeremy held Dorian from behind. “He’s been like this since he was a kid.” Seeing that Jeremy couldn’t stop Dorian, Hailey waved and had her bodyguards carry Dorian back to the ward. After five minutes, it quieted down, Hailey briefly told the whole story and Nicole finally understood. “So you didn’t want Dorian to quit the crew but Henric to quit on his own accord?”. Hailey said faintly, “Yes. I hate such mean people. He hurt Dorian. How can I spare him?” Dorian looked up at Hailey, embarrassed that he had just said that to her. His ears turned red. “Ms. Newman, I’m sorry I misunderstood you.” Hailey said, “I didn’t tell you because it’s going to be fixed soon. You just concentrate on getting better. But it doesn’t matter.” She turned to Nicole and said, “Now you can reveal that Dorian was injured on the set and that he was replaced. As for the reason, there’s no rush to reveal it.” Nicole said worriedly, “But I’m afraid some fans will blame you and call you names.” “I don’t care. It will only be for a few days. When the truth comes out, they’ll know the real culprit.” Jeremy just listened to them. He didn’t know anything about the entertainment industry, but he knew what Hailey was trying to do. She was so smart. Jamie received the news and flew to Diverous that afternoon. He was chattering but funny. He went to the set first to meet the director, put on makeup, and acted in two scenes. He had read Dorian’s script and Timothy was like him, so Dion kept him and shot the scenes that Henric had shot before. In the evening, he took time to visit Dorian at Diverous Hospital. Jeremy cooked dinner in the kitchenette. Hailey came to the hospital in the evening to check on Dorian’s leg and stayed to have dinner with them. jamie arrived just in time and joined them. When Hailey blamed him for telling Dorian about it, Jamie said pitifully, “I didn’t know you had such a great plan.”

Everyone was amused by him. Dorian was concerned about the movie and Henric and Jamie answered his questions. “I don’t think Dion is in any hurry. The big scenes are almost done. I shot two scenes with Henric today. He was out not himself and failed a dozen times. His acting was a little awkward and the whole crew said he wasn’t as good as you.” Dorian was a little frustrated. Henric had been taken care of him like a big brother. He trusted him, so he was defenseless to him, but he set him up. Jamie muttered, “You’re too naive. When I first entered the entertainment industry, my aunt told me to protect myself. There are so many people who are jealous of you. You should be more careful.” Hailey teased Jamie, “Aren’t you jealous?” “Why? He’s not as good-looking as me.” Jamie was confident in his looks and he muttered, “I’m not short of money anyway. I just want to act. A good friend of mine told me that the more popular the actor, the tougher the situation. What do you think, Dorian?” Dorian was speechless.

+ 20 Jeremy gave Jamie a thumbs up. “Good point.” Hailey was amused, but the smile froze on her face as she walked out of the ward and saw the familiar figure. Before she could ask Owen what he was doing here, a beautiful woman beside him quickly approached and handed her a business card. “Hello, Ms. Newman, I’m Nate Marson, the design director of Mazedew Jewelry. I came to see you as soon as I was told you were Master Jade. I’m a big fan of yours…” Nate was thrilled. She respectfully asked, “Would you please work with me?” Hailey took the card and looked up just in time to see Owen looking at her. There was an ambiguous and suspicious look in his eyes as if she had done something bad.
